Border Patrol—A Frontier Comedy

Dr. Horrible is now available on Hulu and it's not the only web show around. It's not even the only web show around that stars an actor from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Border Patrol is a pseudo-reality show which stars Tom Lenk who played the wannabe supervillain Andrew (and perhaps was an inspiration for the Dr. Horrible) in Buffy's sixth and seventh seasons as one of three overzealous anti-immigration crusaders who decide to go to the border and protect it from illegal aliens. If you like Comedy Central's reality show parodies like Reno 911, check out Border Patrol as it's done in much the same style.
